My mechanic told me that I need new tie rods(inner and outer) on the driver's side. I usually get parts on my own and bring it to him for installation. In this case when I look online all I see are tie rod ends and tie rods them selves. Where can I buy an inner and outer tie rod. My car is a 2002 Maxima.

 

"Tie rod" is more than likely the inner, and "Tie rod end" is definitely the outer tie rod.

do the work your self, eye ball it being straight and then immediatly take it to get aligned. Done and cheaper.

 

Moog, done and done...

do a search on here for directions on how to change them.

 

anyone know how to tell if they have gone bad or not?
